Pollyanna Has Mugged Me

Like a small child in a candy store [N]

I was thrilled but indecisive [F]

All ever I wanted, and even more
Is there for me each day I live [Anon.]

Unfortunately, I haven't the cash [F]

To realise my desires [N]

My existence is a sorry mishmash [F]

And all my friends are cheats and liars [Anon.]

At times, I've contemplated suicide [F]

But death is no sweeter than life [N]

My ambivalence I know you deride [F]

But that is your job, as my wife [N]
